Beyond basic statistics : tips, tricks, and techniques every data analyst should know / Kristin H. Jarman. [electronic resource] Jarman, Kristin H. Mathematical statistics Popular works. QA276 001.4/22 23 Includes bibliographical references and index. Description based on print version record and CIP data provided by publisher. This book presents the more subjective side of statistics-the art of data analytics. Each chapter explores a different question using fun, common sense examples that illustrate the concepts, methods, and applications of statistical techniques. Without going into the specifics of theorems, propositions, or formulas, it demonstrates statistics as a useful problem-solving tool. It features: examples throughout aimed to strengthen readers' understanding of statistical concepts and methods; a step-by-step approach to elementary statistical topics such as sampling, hypothesis tests, outlier detection, normality tests, robust statistics, and multiple regression; case studies that illustrate the use of the presented techniques; highlights of well-known shortcomings that can lead to false conclusions; and an introduction to advanced techniques such as validation and bootstrapping. -- Edited summary from book. 2015 Text 1 online resource. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/book/10.1002/9781118856178 eng Beyond basic statistics Beyond basic statistics
